Ask HN: Are there any options to make an SPA experience with SSR without Node
I really like the experience SPAs provide, from the navigation to the interactivity they provide, but I have recently started to grow upset with how demanding Node.js is even for a simple website, and because of it, I started writing a very very early proof of concept that might solve my issue https://github.com/rebootjs/reboot-poc/ but I still have a LOT to think about to get the implementation details right, and was wondering if something already exists that solves my issue. I've seen some suggestions for HTMX + something like stimulus, but that doesn't quite give me the SSR I want (aka the page content is fully rendered on request, aka, how website have always worked and should've never stopped working like) since HTMX still waits to make the requests in browser, and I just never really liked the dx of HTMX, and much more prefer the experience of a Vue or Svelte adjacent. Is this even something tangible yet, or are web developers in their entirety just too married to Node.js to ever get a decent web app experience without it?
